    You say that because you lost. BTW, I think Materazzi deserved to be sent out. And I don't think Italy deserved to win (and I'm Italian, just in case it wasn't clear), but I still think that it's all a matter of luck. The referee can be wrong, sometimes, we all know that (what about the prev World Cup: Italy-South Korea, with that referee Moreno[^]). :) _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us.

    Bullshit. Had it gone to extra time or a penalty shootout and then we lost I could live with that. But the pathetic penalty given for the free kick on the spot, incompentent.

      What a horrible way to get kicked out of the world cup! OMG!! I really feel for the Australians. Even though I feel they didn't deserve to win, I think the way the game ended was just shocking. Lucky Italian B*st*rds:-D

      Italy cheated. That is a good case for a video referee just like they do in Rugby.

        Agreed - the Australians played a great game, it sucks they got a bad call by the ref. He should be expelled from the WC. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

          When a player is on the ground he is no longer in play, he cannot be penalised unless he strikes at the opposition player. The ref is an incompetent wanker, though we have been shafted in everyone of the 4 matches we have played.

              Ohh we've seen many examples of idiotic decisions lately. Yesterday's Portugese game was a typical example. The referees are there to watch over the players, but who watches over the referrees? It stinks and it is ruining the games. It definitely made a farce of yesterday's game. Its a shame you can't call for a substiture referree mid-game.

                        In which alternate Star Trek universe was that arse clown? The Australian player was on the ground, already commited and out of play. The Italian would have received a gold medal in the Olympic 10 metre platform. He milked the penalty, if you can't see that it's because your head is wedged too far up your boyfriends arse.

                          We have the same problem with Superbowl refs for (gridiron) football. And if you're connected with any team that gets boned by a bad call, you're not allowed to say anything to the ref because they're "god" when it comes to the game and enforcement of the rules. I think that whenever a ref makes a bad call, regardless of the game, they should suffer being the target of some kind of penalty shot sans any kind of shielding. It will make them more careful and observant in the future. Mike Poz

So, we had every right to be there considering we beat the Japanese 3-1, the same team that beat India 7-0 (yep that's seven to nothing:laugh:) in the qualifiers.

                              From a lot of the commentary by people in the know, I'm getting the feeling the problem lies with the FIFA bureaucratic rules, rather than the referee themselves. They are specifically being told to 'crack' down and have a zero-tolerance approach to the game. The problem with that is that all this is killing the entire spirit of the game. Yes, we know that referees are invaluable during the game. We need the yellow/red cards to stamp out all the fouls, blatant dives and general cheating that happens during a high pressure game (and we all can point our fingers to one or two players in this WC that are repeat offenders). But a little bit of tolerance and common sense is also necessary! I say bring back the likes of Colina[^]. He had the respect of the players. Besides, the players know if they misbehaved, he would drag them back to his lair and steal their souls: Skelator[^]

                                  I have to say that I agree with Michael (though not as intensely!). The penalty may have existed, but not on that challenge. Maybe the ref was positioned at an angle that made the 'dive' seem a credible foul, but from the replays on the tele, it was no where near a solid foul, hence a penalty. I think the ref just didn't want to spend another 30mins on the pitch, so just gave the penalty to finish the game.:~

                                      So let me repeat.. are you on crack or what ??, do you know what your talking about. maybe if you and others would stop brown nosing for a while, you might see clear. maybe Chris will give you brownie points. Maybe you should google on how Australia, made they're very difficult trek to the world cup. (ohhhh, they beat those tough boys from the solomon islands, woooo, Brazil, Germany watch out..)

                                        No. I watched the whole game. Italian footballers, more or less all match long pretending to be fouled when just falling over. Sometimes falling over themselves without an Aussie in sight, and the nearest Aussie penalised. And that is CHEATING.
